Riverfront Cabin: Iconic Mt. Index Views & Hot Tub

Riverfront serenity meets iconic mountain views. At Oxbow Cabin, the Skykomish River is your backyard and Mt. Index is your horizon. Recently updated in 2026 to elevate your stay, the cabin pairs warm, European-inspired design with the rugged beauty of the PNW. From morning coffee on the riverbank to starlit hot tub sessions and cozy fireside evenings, Oxbow is more than a stay—it’s a deep breath of mountain air.

*Freshly Reimagined for 2026
We are putting the final styling touches on a complete interior refresh. While our current photos hint at the magic, updated professional photography will be added soon to showcase the new finishes, curated furnishings, and cozy design details. We closed the cabin for several months to thoughtfully remodel the space and are excited to begin welcoming guests back to experience the new Oxbow. Please note that current photos reflect the cabin prior to our recent interior refresh.

*The Oxbow Experience

Direct River Access:
A short stroll down the bank leads you from the cabin to the edge of the Skykomish River—perfect for morning coffee reflections, dipping your toes in the water, or simply sitting along the shoreline to enjoy the view.

The Mt. Index Backdrop:
Enjoy one of the most recognizable mountain views in the Skykomish Valley. On clear days, Mt. Index rises beyond the river and creates an unforgettable backdrop for your stay.

Endless Hiking & Waterfalls:
Oxbow Cabin sits in the heart of one of Washington’s most scenic hiking corridors. From Wallace Falls and Bridal Veil Falls to alpine lakes and ridge trails, countless adventures begin just minutes from the cabin.

Stevens Pass Adventures:
Just 25 minutes from Stevens Pass, Oxbow Cabin is an ideal home base for skiing, snowboarding, and year-round mountain adventures.

Outdoor Sanctuary:
Unwind in the outdoor hot tub, gather around the gas fire pit in Adirondack chairs, or spend quiet mornings watching the river flow by.

*Modern Comforts & Design

Heated Bathroom Floors:
A touch of luxury for chilly mountain mornings.

Fully Equipped Kitchen:
Stocked for cooking and gathering, including a waffle maker, spices, and both Keurig and drip coffee makers.

Inviting Living Space:
A beautifully redesigned gathering space featuring a gas fireplace, large windows framing the river view, and a curated collection of adventure books to enjoy after a day outdoors.

*Peaceful Sleeping Spaces

Main Suite:
King bed for a restful night’s sleep.

Guest Room:
A quiet, comfortable queen sanctuary.

The Loft:
A cozy queen-bed hideaway (note: accessed via steep stairs and may not be suitable for all guests).

*A Note on Mountain Living
For added peace of mind, the cabin is equipped with an on-demand backup generator to help keep the lights and heat running in the event of a power outage.

Please Note: Because the cabin is on a community well, the water pump requires external power that is not connected to the generator. In the event of a neighborhood power outage, water will be unavailable until power is restored. We appreciate your understanding of this unique mountain quirk.

*Living in Nature
Oxbow Cabin is surrounded by forest and riverfront wilderness where nature is part of the experience. We take precautions with regular professional pest control and thorough cleaning, but occasional insects or natural elements can still appear from time to time. It’s simply part of staying in a beautiful mountain setting.

***We look forward to welcoming you to Oxbow Cabin and sharing this special corner of the Skykomish Valley with you.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The property was not secluded but was beautiful and very comfortable. The hot tub overlooking the river with decorative lighting was fantastic. The moss covered trees in the deck were my favorite. I'm from Colorado and i have never seen so much green. A great place to stay.
